Parenting teens can feel like a constant push and pull. They want freedom, you want safety. They crave independence, you crave reassurance they’re ready. So how much freedom do teens actually need—and how do you know if you’re giving too much or too little?
In this episode, I break down what’s really happening when teens push for independence and how to guide them without shutting them down. We’ll explore how to build trust, set boundaries that make sense for your family, and equip your teen with the skills they need to make good choices. Spoiler: It’s not about being the “fun” or “strict” parent—it’s about fostering growth and connection.
